Risk Stratification of Penicillin Allergy Labeled Children: A Cross-Sectional Study from Jordan.

In Jordan, many parent-reported penicillin allergic reactions seem to be clinically insignificant and unlikely to be verifiable, which can adversely affect patients' care and antimicrobial stewardship. An appropriate clinical history/evaluation is a key step in identifying true immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic reactions and risk stratifying patients for either de-labeling those with obviously non-immune-mediated reactions or identifying candidates for direct oral challenge test.
